My wife and I bought our first home (a lake house!) in 2019 and within a few days of moving in I was already toying with the idea of making our home “smart”. The challenge was knowing where to start.
There is a TON of very technical information out there - but I didn’t want to learn how to code, I just wanted some simple Smart Home Automations.
After a few hours of digging through all the available info on the web, I still had so many questions:
-Which smart home products should I buy?
-Will these smart products integrate with each other?
-What’s the best smart hub to use? (Also, what the hell is a smart hub?)
-What are some simple smart home automations I can implement quickly?
I’ve answered all of these questions and many more this past year and I created this blog as a way to share it all with you. Smart home tech has become a borderline obsession of mine.

Turn off All the Lights in Your Home With Just Two Words - "Alexa, Goodbye"
It worked..txs
Thank you for sharing
Eish my TV sometimes it turns on then after some few minutes it turns off by itself then when I try to switch the light on the switch it's blinking then it doesn't turn on ,
Hey, thank you so much. I guess my brick wasn’t plugged. I guess the power of brick was like nothing got unplugged like I think I don’t know but I believe I might’ve pulled it or something so it could of been me, but I don’t know.
My Smart tv works great and has plenty of channels via wifi. The only channel i miss is my states NBA team on cable or antenna only. I don't pick up anything from my indoor antenna. Which makes no since. Yes i changed my input to scan the off air channels .
I have one green and one red.. Still don't open but red one flashes if its interfering it but its solid red when nothing does.
Just tried it and it seems to have worked like a charm! I have a Vizio smart tv and it would turn on but not load the home page. First time in months I’ve been able to actually use my tv. Thanks!
The first option unplugging TV for 45 seconds and then pressing the power button does work, but only 1 time. I have to redo every time that I want to watch the TV. Any thoughts
My Google voice says, “sorry I didn’t understand” every time I say that command. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks! switching to another outlet did the trick.
also, check the bottom of your garage door as it's going down. I had a leaf caught in a cobweb that kept triggering my sensor 😅
I'm thinking about getting a QD-OLED from Samsung, but am already sick of the ads and spying. So I'm thinking to use a Raspberry with Kodi for everything online.
I have a QN65 for 2 years now, all of a sudden I had sound but no picture, I can see a picture with a flashlight so it is there. I tried the soft reset several times but still the same. I found my way into the main menu and did a reset and still no picture. What could be my problem?
Thanks so much the information has just helped me fix my screen
the backlights are showing up but the tv isn't turning on 💀
How about if backlight is always as soon as you plug it in
little late for the party but power recycling worked , the thing is it only last for one day or two then I have to do it again 😢
Well crap my power supply thing is bad. But at least I learned how to diagnose
My Samsung does the black TV randomly. It’s frustrating. The turning off for 3 minutes works, but hoping it doesn’t develops into something bigger. I’ll try the off button solution and see how well that solves the issue.
common sense BS.
Very helpful tips, worked for me. Thank you.👍
Oh wow it's working perfectly ❤
it worked thank you
Thank you sooooo much. This was VERY helpful and a quick easy way to fix the problem. Thanks for sharing.
I guess my T-Con board is focked. There is sound, backlight but nothing else.
Did the first step twice. Waited for a couple of seconds and the tv now works. Thank you. Saved me from buying another tv.
It takes you over 8 minutes for a 60 second fix??
Worked for me, thanks!
Thank you it worked! 🙏
My TV red light is on but still have no TV. As soon I turned by remote. It only stays on for a couple of seconds showing the Hisense logo then switches off again.
Hi mate. I have the same situation. How did you over come it? Please help
Didn’t work… have to order a $375 replacement or throw out the bike.
What if the standby light is on the bottom of the tv
No power button to be found Samsung 7 series ru7300...update found the power button by feel under the TV in the center. I'm not sure what worked because I did it all, but it's working! Thanks!!
Great Video. Followed your steps and found out it’s the main power source. Going to see how much vs a new tv. Thanks!
Hi mate, I have a Hisense 65R6 and the Hisense logo comes on for a few seconds then the TV turns itself off. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Cheers.
I’m going thru the same thang 😢
Mine did the very same thing. And it is just out of warrenty. It worked fine last night. But not tonight. What you have described is what is happening to my 55" Hisense TV got the red light but nothing else except the logo for a couple of seconds then nothing.😢
Ours went out like 2 months ago and nothing is working. It seems that if we shine a flashlight against the tv, we make out the screen. Sucks because I dont even think it’s 2 yrs old. Now we are looking at replacing our 75” Hisense with the 86” LG WebOs. Hopefully it lasts more than 2 years
Thanks! The first step fixed my issue
When I place my phone lighter on the screen I I can pictures but still there's black screen.
I can see pictures....
Pos!
The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking 'This guy takes me for an idiot. Seriously?". But I found it quicker to try the power cycle than run to the store for a new TV. Power cycle did the trick. But has to be done the way he said it. Open mouth, insert foot. Thank you!!
fixed mine! ty
Nothing worked. Guess have to get another one
It worked!! Thank you so much for your video!
It work for me first try 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you
The power cycling worked great, thanks so much!!!
So I did the 30-15-30 trick and it worked the rest of that night. The next day the TV wouldn't turn on again and it also started to click red light blink twice then click again. 30-15-30 trick did not work. Does this mean I possibly have bad capacitors?
The battery reset worked for me, thanks
Nothing worked
I was just skimming some of these comments here. Well I have no TV today because the stupid internet connections out, and rebooting did not fix the issue. They'll send out a tech tomorrow, and you know they're going to try to charge me. I am furious at this whole internet crap that we have to deal with anymore! They want us to do everything online and it's so darn frustrating and complicated! Bring back the old TV's... dang..it!
Ok. So I've tried all i can think of to get my Samsung to work. I always have these problems with Samsung TV's! They just suddenly black out. The LED works as I can tell bc the lights still blink behind the TV, but the screen is still black. No picture and no sound, although im not sure there shoukd be sound if no picture anyway. However, when i open the tv and remove the ribbon cable from the main board but keep it connected to the t con board, the led lights stop blinking and remain on and the tv makes a soundcas if it has just powered on and pressing the remote buttons causes sound on the tv as it does when searching from the app bar or toggle, but of course no picture. When i plug the ribbon cable back in to the main board, it goes back to black screen, blinking led lights and doesn't make the power on sound. I have tried taping some pins on the cable but at best i only got lines on a black screen. I now have 2 tvs, both samsung, doing the exact same thing. Does this sound like the ribbon, tcon board or main board problem?
